Poll: The official I voted/election results thread

[Spook187]

Consultation should be paid for, but medicine should be severely cut back on, we hand them out too much and are now on the doorstep of a serious anti-biotic resistance problem because of it.

No it shouldn't, we already pay through taxes, oh wait you want us hard workers to pay for more. get a grip.

 

[StriderX]

Oh FFS stop with the "mandate for Scotland" crap! The Tories have a mandate to govern the UK, of which Scotland is a part. End of.

It does, but being vicious would allow labour back in down south, the SNP isnt going anywhere.

 

[deuse]

Bring on the vote on the EU asap.

 

[Terminal_Boy]

Yeah. Thus is another worry as well

Even better news than Ed Balls having to claim JSA on Monday.

About time. Now we can kick out who we want when we want.

Their manifesto is utter fantasy, they never had any intention of implementing it. Child tax credits are 100% certain to go, when asked about this in the debate David Cameron refused to rule it out, saying instead he "didn't want to do that" i.e. but I'm going to anyway. Regressive tax policy is the hallmark of Tory economic policy so I can't see how that won't happen either. They definitely have something up their sleeves for the NHS as well, I confess I don't know exactly what but you only need to look at all the US private healthcare companies backing them to see where we're going.

Child tax credits gone for everyone? Why do you say that?

 

[scorza]

Are there any LD's actually left to say anything?

Well there's Clegg (thanks to Tory tactical voting) and Tim Farron, who must surely become leader now. If I was them I'd put a clause in their constitution that they'll never collaborate with the Tories again.

So the Polls on this forum showing a heavy Tory leaning were right, despite the protests that the forum is way more right wing than the general populace.

 

[Raiden85]

I hate the conservatives. Looks like another 5yrs of crap.

Because when he was asked about it, Cameron refused to rule out doing it. I'm expecting the Tories will put up VAT to 22.5% as well, and they have ruled out doing that!

Well tbh, it is a tad over the projection.

No offence mate you live in Neath, there is no greater definition of crap other than aberdare

 

[MookJong]

Indeed. I'm expecting a lot of regret 12 months from now.

I don't actually mind the Tories, I just don't trust them not to implement policy that is firmly against the public interest.

I agree, it's likely a lot of people who voted Conservative thought they were voting for a continuation of coalition policy, but there is simply no guarantee things wont take a step to the right.

If only Scotland didn't have such a disproportionate amount of MPs for its population.

5% of the votes, 56 seats.

 

[Freakbro]

Well the Tories were talking about upping free Nursery hours to 30 hrs / week (which with the law of unintended consequences will have detrimental effects on a lot of pre-schools) The change in the voucher system, it's all ways they can remove Child Tax Credits but not make Childcare completely unaffordable.

It's nearly 2 years old - who knows if this will still be pushed through.

What about South Thanet?

 

[Terminal_Boy]

Clegg's only hope is to run for an MEP slot and get on the EUSSR gravy train.

 

[Vertigo]

Bring on the vote on the EU asap.

Yeah at least the Tories are giving us the choice which is more than Labour ever did. Labour even attacked the Tories' plans for a referendum, saying it would bring two years of economic uncertainty. So basically they were saying that, because we couldn't be trusted to vote to stay in the EU, the decision should be taken out of our hands altogether! Yet another reason Labour are a bunch of utter muppets.

Have you ever been to aberdare, I went once and had to fight of a sabertooth tiger with a Mars chocolate bar!!
